NOTE
In this volume several old names of longstanding use have been dropped. Peronea Curtis (1824) is preoccupied by Peronea Rafinesque (1815) and the name Acleris Hiibner (1825) is substituted. All species referred to Peronea by Meyrick, and others obviously conspecific with them, are placed in Acleris. Some species referred to Peronea by Meyrick do not belong in Acleris but are retained here until revisionary works make proper disposition of them.

OLETHREUTIDAE
NOTE
Argyroploce Hiibner (1825) is a synonym of, and is superseded by, Olethreutes Hiibner (1822). Meyrick assigned a great mass of species, many unrelated to Olethreutes s. str., to Argyroploce. The latter name is abandoned in this work but most of the species placed in Argyroploce by Meyrick are retained together until such time as they are assigned correctly. Cacoecia Hiibner (1825), likewise, falls to Archips (Hiibner) 1822, and the same applies to the species now assigned to Archips as indicated under Olethreutes.
